use immunity

Immunity from the use of the compelled testimony (or any information derived from that testimony) in a future prosecution against the witness.

• After granting use immunity, the government can still prosecute if it shows that its evidence comes from a legitimate independent source.

— Also termed use/derivative-use immunity. [Cases: Criminal Law 42. C.J.S. Criminal Law §§ 78–86.]
